I have been using my pump for approx 3 weeks now and I must admit, i'm not doing too well. I think its more how I feel about having the pump than actually the pump being annoying (if that makes sense lol )
I am struggling with where to house it when wearing various clothes, also i have noticed that some bra styles lend themselves to holding it whereas others are no use, I haven't yet bought any "accessories" but have been having a look at them but at this rate it looks like I am also going to have to change my whole wardrobe too LOL As I only use my pump for background insulin at the moment its not too bad, as once its in situ I don't need to bother with it again until I need to put in a new cartridge, however I know it will get more complicated when I start using bolus too as I am assuming I will need to access it to do this ( . . . not had that training yet lol)
Also my sites, these interfere greatly with what I wear, where do most people have theirs? The bumf I got with my pump doesn't really cover site locations very well!
All these things combined are making me somewhat dislike my pump a wee bit . . . . :crazy:
